Simple food...

I’ve always enjoyed eating food that other people cooked. For most of my life, I left the cooking to others in the family.

A few years ago, we wanted to buy a food processor and I saw one of the videos they had was “how to make pizza dough”. I went out and bought the food processor straight away.

From that point on, I bought a wood fired pizza oven and I now make pizza doughs by hand (the food processor is used for other things it’s good at - pizza dough is not one of them).

I acquired one cooking skill and was content making pizzas for the rest of my life.

Then one day I saw videos on YouTube making pasta dishes. I thought “How difficult can it get?”

I have now acquired a whole new set of skills (and cooking utensils and cookbooks).

The photos you see here are food that I actually cooked. They don't look too bad (in my humble opinion) and they taste even better.

What I want to achieve here is to show people like me that cooking doesn’t necessarily need to be hard.

If I can cook (and actually find the food palatable to eat), then so can you!
